The Greatest Detective

A little boy asked his dad, "Do you know who the greatest detective in the world is?"

His father replied, "Know her — say, I married her!"

Notes:

1. A little boy asked his dad, "Do you know who the greatest detective in the world is?"

一个小男孩问他爸爸;“你知道世界上最厉害的侦探是谁吗?”

detective n.侦探

2. His father replied, "Know her — say, I married her!"

他爸爸因答：“岂止知道她——嘿，我还娶了她!”

"say"也可以当感叹词，当表达惊讶、赞叹、抗议、同情， 或想引起别人注意时，都可以用say。日常生活中，在跟人打招呼，想引起别人的注意时可以用say，意思同"hello"，如：Say, what are you doing? 喂!你在干什么?

这个句中的say是惊讶的意思，表示：我怎么可能会不知道世界上最厉害的侦探是谁呢?我妻子每天检查我的通讯记录，偷翻我的公事包，她是世界上最杰出的侦探!
